Instructions
Prepare the Brownies
- Bake your favorite homemade brownies. Once fully baked, cool completely and cut into small squares about 1 to 1.5 inches in size.
Make the Cookie Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Assemble and Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly.
- Place a brownie square in the center, wrap the dough around it, sealing completely, and roll into a ball.
- Place cookies on baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until edges are golden and centers look soft.
- Remove from oven and cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Serve
- Serve warm for gooey centers or at room temperature with milk or your favorite hot beverage.
Notes
- Ensure brownies are completely cooled before stuffing to prevent soggy cookie dough.
- Chill dough if too soft to help cookies hold shape and prevent spreading.
- Try seasonal variations like adding cinnamon in winter or nuts in summer for unique flavors.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Use store-bought brownies only if firm and fully cooled to maintain texture.
